Love this new app and being a "newbie" here I would like to know if anyone else is having a hard time with the exercise search bar??? I have tried typing in numerous types of exercises such as "tricep extensions"(home gym) and other exercises on my machine, "low impact cardio videos" which I watch and go along with on youtube…I have figured out that is just plain weight training....just seems to me that the only thing I can type in the "exercise" bar is calisthenics for the type of workouts that I am doing. I do not understand why I cannot put in the weights I use as well when it only wants the minutes. I know that I am burning a lot more calories than what this app is saying. Yes this first week was hard but I have actually lost 20 pounds from starting the "military diet" a month ago and then decided I needed to eat more in order to start building muscle while losing the weight. I love that I can watch what I am eating and put in realistic goals. Awesome stuff other than being frustrated at the exercise part of this app.
